Mozilla826 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I currently live in McAllen and it takes me exactly 10 minutes to get to campus and I only pay $640 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozilla826 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I know a lot of you haven't heard back yet but don't give up as the faculty and staff are dealing with close to a 150 students right now (current 2nd and 3rd yr). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are rotations determined - namely locations? Do we have a say? Do they consider certain circumstances? Are each of the classes taken with all 80 students? Do they help facilitate any guidance towards fellowships throughout the program or after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozilla826 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We really do not have much say in the order of our rotations, there are sites in brownsville, Harlingen, mcallen, edinburg they are all within a 1 hr drive. Yes, the classes are taken with all 80 students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just worried what I would do with my dog if I was sent away to a location several hours away. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a quick question. how many of your classmates were accepted off of the wait list? And how likely is it for wait listed students to get off the waitlist ? Thanks!

I was probably speed reading, and not reading all of the content. Someone mentioned all 80 seats were taken, so I assumed. On another note, I believe it is still taking too long to send out any kind of notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhgutierrez02 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hello All I'm a recent graduate from UTRGV , class of 2017, Just recently passed my boards so officially a PA-C. I myself was accepted from the alternate, they always have an alternate list even as they haven't closed out the class-- why ? well maybe there is something another applicant had that we possibly didn't. So they begin creating a list from individuals they think would be ready to take the spots in case people reject, don't answer, back out etc. My advise is stay relevant, I would send e-mails, kept shadowing , updating my resume and sending it in. Set up meetings with professors to see what I could do so I would get accepted . I got accepted 1 month before my class began school, never lose hope ! Be patient though it's still early and like other said their new professors being trained ,classes are expanding , program is growing so department is dealing with a lot but you will hear back even if it is a rejection letter.

Do you feel like you were well prepared for your boards by utrgv? The pass rates have been up and down and I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you :) Thank you & keep working hard and you will be in my shoes very soon ! I loved the university i attended and i do believe i was well trained, for boards and for practicing. The curriculum is module based something that I really liked , seeing all of cardiology from pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, clinical medicine, patient education vs seeing different organ systems in each class worked for me. They do a lot on preparing you for boards, such as the multitude of exams that are directly taken from the NCCPA blue print,end of rotation exams by PAEA in your clinical year, PAK RAT and board reviews. So far everyone who has taken it in my class passed , and last years class had a 99 % pass rate on first try. Program is getting stronger every year. But honestly it comes down to how hard you work and the work you put in, you can attend the best program in the nation but if we don't put in the work and study hard on our own the PANCE will be hard to pass. keep your options open, but I always had a passion for the undeserved community in the RGV so going to UTRGV was the perfect match for me.

In other words, what should we be expecting to hear from the university as far as things we need to do or events we may have to attend before class starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
